Front Line is deeply concerned following the false charges that have been taken against human rights defender Julfikar Ali. Julfikar Ali is the Murshidabad District Human Rights Monitor of the National Project on Preventing Torture in India (NPPTI) which is coordinated by People's Watch and sponsored by the European Union. Julfikar Ali investigates alleged incidents of torture carried out by state security agents, such as the Border Security Forces (BSF), and seeks legal redress on behalf of victims of cases of torture.
